Ag. viscidus. Hups 614, 18. 
This is introduced from Scheffer.on the authority of Mr. 
Hudson, who refers to it as a synonym to the Ag. viscidus of _ 
Linn. which is a very different plant to this of Scheffer; but as 
the character Linnzus gives to his viscidus could never lead 
Mr. Hudson to this plant of Schaffer, I must suppose that he 
had found’ the latter to be the plant before him, and only erred 
in referring it to the species of Linnzus. Mr. Hudson likewise: - 
refers to Scop. 1477, but Scopoli refers his species, which he 
calls purpurascens, to Fl. Suec. 1232, and these seem also to be 
Schzffer’s plant. The real Ag. viscidus of Linneus has lately 
been found in England, and will therefore be introduced in its 
_ Proper place. he ya ios ae
